I am seeing some smaller items on GP the I would like to bid on. Wondering if anyone has dealt with shipping small stuff from them. How does it work? I am talking things like small electronics, misc clothing, small tools, etc. Have never bought from them so trying to do homework. Thanks

Hello All, I know I will be roasted for this, but I want to assure everyone I have really tried to dig into the archives/search and can't find what I am looking for! I just picked up a 1986 M1035. Front suspension is really rusted and need 2 upper control arms. Trying to figure out the...

Yes, it is February, cold and I am bored! But, decided to exercise the 803 today. It was 28 degrees, haven't run it for over a month or so. Hit the glow plugs for 30 seconds or so, and bang it fired right up! No sputtering, a little smoke but cleared quickly. Hooked my space heaters up, got it...

I have been lusting after an LMTV for about a year now. Been watching the usual sites. Today a 1078 went for $18,900!!! Can someone explain this to me??? They may be out of reach for me now.....

Hello All, Sitting here in the northeast awaiting the impending ice storm and my mind wanders to potential projects. I am considering adapting a 4 cylinder Fermont motor to an old farm tractor. Does anyone know if there is a 12volt starter available for the motors or a way to convert a 24 volt...

I might be getting my hand slapped for this, I hope not! There were 2 lots of multiple Onan engines sold today on "that" site. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get in touch with the buyers. Either thru the auction site or?? Looking for some MEP engine stuff. Thanks

Hello Gentlemen, I went to exercise my 803 just now. Started fine, as it usually does. Ran for maybe a minute and just shut down. No fuel pump noise, which I know means I have lost 24 volts. Realized that the "CB1" is tripping. I went thru my manuals, looked at the schematics and can't really...

Hello All, First off, I have gone to the manuals, but can't seem to find the issue I am having. I had my unit for sale, a gentleman was coming this afternoon to look and buy. I came home early to get it running, which has never been a problem at all. It started right up, ran for a couple minutes...

Hi Guys, I am putting my aux. fuel hose/tank pipe together. What are your thoughts on installing a filter on that set up so fuel is filtered before it hits the pump? I am using 1/2"copper fittings before the aux. hose. Let me know thoughts.

So, figured out that my fuel gauge was bad. Did all the testing thru the TM's(they are very useful!). Took it out and used another from another unit I had. Also dismantled the "bad" one. Basically it is a little electric type motor with 4 hair thin wires connected to the misc terminals. I...

After running the 803 for 24 hours last week during an outage, Since I was using fuel cans to refuel, I realized I needed to make sure the aux fueling procedure was working. The aux pump was running in normal run position, so had to take the sheet metal off and check it out. Disconnected the...

I am sure this has been discussed 100 times+, but This is the first time I have had a chance to really load up my recent frankenstein machine(took 2 bad ones and made 1 good one!). This thing is amazing. 62amps per leg. That is 14.9KW. I did run it at 125%ish for probably 30-40min and then it...

Hello all, my 803 generator trailer has the pig tail to hook to a military whatever. I would like to find the truck receptacle(male?) to rig up a converter to tow with my truck. Any tips or leads would be appreciated.

This is a GP auction yesterday. It caught my attention since it went for such a cheap price. I was shocked at how much gen's were going for yesterday BTW! But, going thru the pictures I saw this cooling system mod. Anyone know what it is??? Very interesting

I have a motor in my 803 that has a reset tag that said 2.5 hours. That is all I can decipher. The oil looks clean, but I am having low oil pressure when hot. Probably 25-30LB on the gauge. I am going to hook up a manual gauge to verify the electric. But thinking I need to change the oil to a...

I may be replacing my gen head. The one that was on my machine had black colored wires coming out of the head. The one I am looking at has white wires. Is there a difference and should I be concerned? The potential gen head may have had its output leads swapped around on TB3. Is there a way to...

Hello all. After discovering a crack in the cylinder wall of my engine, I now need to remove it to either replace or re-sleeve. I have searched here and the TM's and can't find anything definitive on removing the engine and then the generator head to separate the 2 pieces. Anyone have any leads...

Anyone know where I can get an 803 crankshaft bolt. The one that goes in the water pump end of engine. I have reached out to someone that had parts listed in classifieds but no answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Gentleman, I have just made a deal to pick up an 803 on a trailer, 4K hours. I only just got my first gen set (802) 3 weeks ago! The ad says it needs "flywheel bolt" replaced and in correspondence he says that he was told it runs, just needs a battery cable, couple of muffler bolts. Kind of a...

Hi Guys, rainy sunday here in Patriots nation. Just came in from installing casters on my 802. Nice mod if your able to keep it on a slab. For some reason, my generator does not have any ID plates on it. Came that way, I don't want to get into a discussion as to why they are not on the unit...
